Abstract: The sixth revision of IS 1893 (Part 1): 2016, "Criteria for Earthquake Resistant Design Of Structures" have been
published by Bureau of Indian Standards recently in December 2016. In this new code many changes have been included
considering standards and practices prevailing in different countries and in India.
This work aims at studying revisions in various clauses of new IS 1893 (Part 1): 2016 with respect to old IS 1893 (Part 1): 2002
and their effect especially, Separate response spectra for Equivalent static method and Response spectrum method. Old IS-1893-
2002 has given one response spectra for Equivalent Static Method and Response Spectrum method for 4.0 s periods. Expressions
are given for calculating design acceleration coefficient (Sa/g), for Rocky/hard soils, medium soils and soft soils. New IS 1893-
2016 has given response spectra for Equivalent Static Method and Response Spectrum method separately for 6.0 s periods.
Expressions are given for calculating design acceleration coefficient (Sa/g), for Equivalent Static Method and Response
Spectrum method separately for Rocky/hard soils, medium soils and soft soils. It will change the Sa/g values.
Definition of soft storey and weak storey, change in definition of mass, torsion and vertical irregularities has been modified.
Importance factor of 1.2 has been specified in new code for residential buildings, in old code residential buildings were assigned
importance factor of 1.0. Naturally, it will increase the design horizontal seismic coefficient A h. New expression for Ta for
building with RC structural walls, requirements for rigid and flexible diaphragm has been modified, modelling of unreinforced
masonry infill walls as equivalent diagonal struts, etc. and critical comments on that are covered.
Keywords: Response spectrum, centre of stiffness, Geometric irregularity, Damping ratio, Diaphragm.
I. INTRODUCTION
India is prone to strong earthquake shaking, and hence earthquake resistant design is essential. The Engineers do not attempt to
make earthquake proof buildings that will not get damaged even during the rare but strong earthquake. Such buildings will be too
robust and also too expensive.
Design of buildings wherein there is no damage during the strong but rare earthquake is called earthquake proof design. The
engineers do not attempt to make earthquake proof buildings that will not get damaged even during the rare but strong earthquake.
Such buildings will be too robust and also too expensive. The aim of the earthquake resistant design is to have structures that will
behave elastically and survive without collapse under major earthquakes that might occur during the life of the structure. To avoid
collapse during a major earthquake, structural members must be ductile enough to absorb and dissipate energy by post elastic
deformation.

III. CONCLUSIONS
The following conclusion are made from the literature review as mentioned above:
Importance factor for multi storey residential buildings has been changed from 1.0 to 1.2. As I increases, Ah will increase and
therefore Base shear VB will increase. This may lead to increase in size of lateral load resisting members and reinforcement.
Ultimately structure cost may increase.
Response spectra for Equivalent Static Method and Response Spectrum method are given separately, in both cases Sa/g values will
change. It will change the values of Ah and VB.
As per Old code IS 1893-2002 if Stiffness of masonry infill is not considered in analysis, it will increase the sizes of lateral load
resisting elements like-columns/shear walls.
As per IS 1893-2016 New code, Modelling with URM infill consider the stiffness of the infill in analysis thus, sizes of
columns/shear wall may decrease or increase as per the stiffness distribution..
In old IS 1893-2002 full section, i.e. full M.I. of columns and beams is considered.
In new code IS 1893-2016, cracked section with 70% MI of columns and 35 % MI of beams is considered.

As cracks may develop in structure after some period, MI of sections may reduce and hence for safety it is more reasonable to
consider cracked section properties in analysis.
As per new IS 1893-2016 Equivalent static analysis shall be applicable for regular buildings with height < 15m in seismic Zone II.
i.e. Dynamic analysis is compulsory for almost all buildings in all zones.
The clause of ol d cod e regar ding increasing the stresses by 33.0% when EQ loads are acting, is removed. Thus designer is
indirectly forced to use the limit state method.
